About this property

Villa A at Cannon Villas is lovingly cared for by it's discerning owner of over 30 years. It is the pride and joy of the family and we are happy to share it with you. It is set right on one of Jamaica's naturally concealed beaches, on a private compound shared with 5 other family-owned villas. Rosalie your own housekeeper/cook will take great care of you, and caretaker Conroy is very attentive and helpful. Cottage A is a rare treasure located just walking distance from the secluded Laughing Waters waterfall (featured in a number of James Bond films) and 10 mins drive from the town of Ocho Rios and offers easy access to most of Jamaica's major attractions. The three airconditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms are tastefully appointed, as is the whole villa to create a feeling of homeliness with quality. Our guest book is filled with sincere messages of gratitude from guests who have enjoyed some of their most memorable holidays there. Cottage A is for discerning guests who want an authentic, quaint yet tasteful beachside cottage experience.

Cottage by the ocean

This property was cozy and comfortable for our family's few days visit to the coast. Staff was very pleasant but professional. This was our second visit and would definitely be going back again.

9 day vacation

Just spend nine incredible days with my wife and two grown sons at this beach side villa in Mammee Bay, just outside of Ocho Rios. Marlene, our housekeeper, was a boss who attended to our every need with her culinary skills and great hospitality and Anthony, our groundsman, was always available to chop coconuts, man the grill and provide any other necessary assistance. For adults or a family with kids, this villa cannot be beat for location and service. We've been coming here for years and cannot wait to return. I highly recommend it to anyone.

We all had a great time at this idyllic location

Great location and beautiful beach. May not be for the Jamaica travel novice or those who prefer the all-inclusive lifestyle. Would definitely stay again. The housekeeper and sometimes cook, Marleen was a delight.

IDYLLIC BEACH VILLA

As my title states,this was the most peaceful ,picturesque piece of heaven.We were 4 sisters of mature age truly enjoying every bit of RELAXATION in the most idyllic spot. The cottage is much more than I expected,and too good to be true. We loved the private beach steps from the door,the quiet uninterrupted joy and the splendor of the grounds . Marlen took care of us,making us feel like family.She cooked some of our favorite Jamaican dishes,serving it up with a smile and so much love. Anthony the grounds keeper cut our coconuts and brought us mangoes he picked on the property.He was such a pleasure and very helpful to us. Cannon Villa A is definitely my yearly vacation spot. Love,love it.

Relaxing beautiful bubble by the beach

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the villa. Marlene & Tracy were lovely and kind enough to make us breakfast each day, then we relaxed on the beach, and even did some snorkeling. The location is fantastic - just on the edge of Ochi but the private beach makes it feel like a small oasis away from the hype. Scotchies for delicious jerk is across the street, and Dunns River Falls is around the corner for a little adventure. It was exactly what we needed, thank you!

Relaxation at Cannon Villa

What a great week my cousin and I spent at this great beach front bungalow. Mrs Marlene our chef and property manager was the highlight of the trip she helped us with getting food for the week and having great meals through the days. Property is gated and secure, grounds are kept clean on a daily basis. Definitely would love to stay again.

Paradise

This villa is literally on the beach. Angela was great and the entire stay was flawless. The villa should provide basic kitchen needs (seasonings, oil etc) rather than having guests who are staying a short while having to purchase these items.

The Amazing Marlene

The cottage is well kept and comfortable. Out of the cottages this is the best one. Beautiful beach and carribean ocean right in front of you. The best gem to this property is Ms. Marlene. She is the cook, housekeeper, mother, friend. I love her and can't wait to get back to her.

Excellence All Around/ The Place to Be

Perfect location, indeed a hidden paradise, unadulterated bliss! From the moment we entered the property until we left, the service and accommodation were unsurpassed. Pristine beachfront at the reach of your hand. Breathtaking sunrise and glowing sunsets. The accommodations were excellent and it felt like my very own home on steroids! I had no desire to return to Texas, but I must, in order to repeat this trip next year. Kudos to the owners, housekeeper/ cook, gardener and the beach crew. There was never too much to ask. Thanks guys and bless up!

Relaxing Stay

Communication from the owner, Matthew, was fantastic from my first inquiry. We were met at the property by Marlene and she had dinner waiting for us as we arrived late. I did contact her a few days prior to request a prepared meal. Marlene's cooking is better than any restaurant! She will request a shopping list/meals requested and she will also make suggestions! Every meal she prepared what fantastic. She was a joy to have in the house! Be sure to ask her how to get to Laughing Water waterfalls, she will instruct you to ask one of the beach employees to escort you during the short walk there! The property was beautiful and the everyone was friendly. Don't forget your bug spray! My sister and I traveled to Jamaica for an ancestral visit and we could have not picked a better Jamaica home than Cannon Villas A. Thank you and we hope to be back sooner rather than later!

Beachfront Villa with breathtaking views and outstanding cuisine

We loved resting and waking to the sounds of the beach. The view from the Villa is breathtaking. Within steps you’re on a private beach and soaking up the sun. The Villa itself is beautiful with vibrant colors inside and out. An extraordinary part of the experience was the chef, Ms. Marlene who cooked exquisite and authentic Jamaican home cooked meals. Ms. Marlene was the highlight of our trip. Matthew, the property owner, is incredibly responsive from the moment you book to to arrival, making sure things are smooth. We can’t wait to return soon! We loved every moment. -k

Sweet spot on the beach

This villa is the perfect place if you want to enjoy this private beach, homemade meals, hear the ocean at night and venture out to Ocho Rios for patties or jerk chicken. We stayed here on a “girls” trip and felt very safe and comfortable in the house.

Absolutely perfect

We had the best time! I’ve been coming to Jamaica since I was a little girl, my mom lives in Montego Bay. This was my boyfriend’s third time to Jamaica and we had two family members who had never been before. We all enjoyed every moment! The beach is beautiful, the villa is clean, spacious and very comfortable. The location is ideal, very close to Ocho Rios, with three very close grocery stores, Scotchies for jerk, local fisherman with fresh fish and lobster and very close to Dunn’s river falls and little Dunn’s. Marleen the house keeper is the sweetest and she prepared my most favorite Jamaican dishes. I highly recommend this place!! I will be staying here again and inviting my other family and friends to join us.

About the host

Hosted by Matthew

We are a family of Jamaican professionals working in the legal and real estate sectors and live in Kingston

Why they chose this property

We first bought this Villa along with another family so that we could all have a place to spend weekends and holidays. As a young couple with a mortgage, we couldn't afford it on our own but we knew it was one of the best beach locations in Jamaica, and we knew it would never be cluttered with hotels because of the established residential and vacation home community around it. Some of our family's best memories were made at Cottage A. Bonfires on the beach, water skiing, fishing trips ending with beach bar-b-ques, walks over to the nearby Laughing Waters waterfall, and lots of laughs with great friends are some of the good times that spring to mind whenever we talk about Cannon. It was tough to buy it in the early days but buying tis villa was one of our best decisions

What makes this property unique

The location is the biggest benefit. People from all over Jamaica and other Caribbean islands regularly refer to it as one of the loveliest spots they have been to. Many have been to larger, more modern, more salubrious villas but the location and quaint, simple but tasteful surroundings make Cannon hard to beat
